Record Store Days. From Vinyl To Digital And Back Again
Vinyl History - Book - by Gary Calamar
(2012)
This
is a fascinating, loving look back at the retail refuges that
enthralled three generations of music lovers. This is by two record
store veterans, one of whom is the Grammy-nominated president of Go
Music, with a foreword by a member of R.E.M. "There's nothing as
glamorous as a record store".
(Paul
McCartney). In this era of digital downloads the small, indie record
shop might sound like an anachronism. But, in fact, record stores served
as community centres, information exchanges, clubs and art galleries.
"Record
Store Days" provides a glimpse into the special alchemy that makes a
great record store. This book includes photographs and reminiscences
from musicians, music industry executives, former record store clerks
and, of course, avid fans.
